Valerie Pensworth - Fine Art + Illustration

Yay! The pika package for march was just released and I was part of it! You can read about me and all the other wonderful artists in the online zine for march too!

The bad news is I hadn’t had time to experiment with the paper for the printer yet when I sent them all the way to Malaysia…so the quality isn’t nearly as good as the ones I’m selling on Etsy! But oh well…I’m still learning how to make my prints render the original the best that it can.

Matt and I went to Tiga last night! Its one of my favorite spots to hang out. Its sooooo cozy and they usually have the best music playing. They also make their own infused vodkas…I like the habanero. The owners are super nice and I’m talking to them about another art show around February.

I am so excited to be so excited about all the artwork I’ve been producing! Its turning out to be really cohesive and I can’t wait to frame it all! I hope the economy won’t kill all chances of selling it. I am super poor.

My kitchen table often looks like a mad scientist/dumper diving fiasco. I use pickle jars, yogurt containers, empty spice containers, the same paper towel over and over, cling wrap to keep the paint wet in the fridge….
I’m trying not waste anything. Did I mention my brushes are like 44 years old…helps me problem solve though. “How do I get in that little gemstone with this crazy frayed brush…oh just tilt and jiggle it a little.”

ok bye.
